Welcome to Natick Youth Basketball

NYB’s philosophy is to provide Natick children the opportunity to participate in developmental basketball programs at a young age, and more competitive programs through the middle school years. We teach the skills and knowledge of the game to support each child’s development as a basketball player, and strive to help them develop a passion for the game. NYB emphasizes our core values of teamwork, sportsmanship, discipline and integrity to aid in the children’s development as people and potentially future high school student athletes.

Travel

Travel basketball is the cornerstone program for NYB. We offer travel basketball teams for boys and girls in grades 4-8 each winter.

Skills Clinics

In skill sessions, players work kids on ball handling, shooting, passing, and general offensive / defensive footwork to bring their game to the next level.

Intramural

Intramural Basketball is an in-town basketball program. The Intramural program is open to boys and girls currently in Grades 1-8.

Hoopsters

Fun and high energy clinics designed to provide an introductory basketball experience for boys and girls in grades K-3.

Annual Turkey Shootout

Established in 1995, the Turkey Shootout is a Natick Youth Basketball tradition that brings together over 100 teams on Thanksgiving weekend for a weekend of basketball and fun. The tournament hosts boys and girls travel basketball teams in Grades 4-8 from all over the state. The Turkey Shootout is a fantastic way to kick off the travel basketball season each fall.

NYB is transitioning to new uniforms for the upcoming travel basketball season. Our current uniforms are being phased out, so all players will need to purchase the new uniform style.
We know many families expect uniforms to last multiple seasons. To help ease the transition, NYB will cover 50% of the uniform cost for all players this season!

This is a mock up of the new unis! Hope you love ❤️ 💙
BECOME A UNIFORM SPONSOR!

NYB is seeking team uniform sponsors for our upcoming intramural season for grades 1–8. Your support helps keep costs low for local families and encourages participation.

Sponsors receive their business name on the back of team uniforms, providing visibility throughout the season and beyond as players wear their shirts around town.

For more information, contact Brendan Shank by email at brshank@gmail.com or call/text 781-640-2873.
